The New Year kicks off with a New Moon in the sign of Capricorn on Wednesday, January 1st. Some of you may recall from previous ‘scopes that new moons serve as windows of opportunity to set intentions for the month ahead. A fresh start and new beginning are the main themes in store for this week, but with so much energy already brewing in the sign that represents structure, routine and discipline; any New Year’s goals put out into the Universe will have a greater chance of solidifying over the coming 12 months. As your vision of your personal new chapter unfolds and expands, I would advise you to be careful what you wish for!

Check your horoscopes below for this week, and be sure to read for your Ascendant sign as well. Happy New Year, dear Friends!

On the day you were born, all of the planets were positioned in the signs of the Zodiac – not just the Sun. To find out more about your full astrological make up, email Tracey for a personal Astrology reading at tracey@randomnessofrudy.com.

Aries: Relationship activity has increased, Aries. This could be good in that you are able to forge new healthy commitments where you and the other party both benefit (especially if it’s a business partnership being formed). However, if you find that you must continue to adjust your needs and desires for their sake, you may begin to grow a little resentful. The irony here is that you’re experiencing a taste of your own medicine. You would be wise, then, to learn from this experience. Your 2014 Forecast Reading serves as a kick start to your year ahead! This reading can be done in person or over the phone. Visit www.randomnessofrudy.com for more information.

Taurus: You’re in position to ring in the New Year with a more optimistic outlook than last year. Whether or not you see it that way, however, is another story. Many changes filled 2013, especially with regards to how you merge with others. The coming year will see an increase in the number of opportunities to be cheerful, and you can continue to smell the roses as you prefer. But don’t forget what’s come to pass; applying lessons learned will make the transitions of 2014 easier to navigate. Your 2014 Forecast Reading serves as a kick start to your year ahead! This reading can be done in person or over the phone. Visit www.randomnessofrudy.com for more information.

Gemini: You may feel it’s easier to be on your own, especially when it comes to dealing with your split personality (your Zodiac symbols are the Twins after all!). However, you’ll be doing yourself a disservice if you think you can be single (i.e. non-committal) forever. Thankfully, you’re beginning to meet people that jive with your intellect and energy; this should make dating and relating less stressful. Light and casual will lead to more if you put yourself out there. Drop the lone wolf façade. Your 2014 Forecast Reading serves as a kick start to your year ahead! This reading can be done in person or over the phone. Visit www.randomnessofrudy.com for more information.

Cancer: Your focus is on partnerships of all kinds and how you benefit. So make sure that as you sort out relationship goals and desires that you don’t forget about personal goals and desires; this could be in a business or romance. The fact of the matter is that much of 2014 is still all about you, which means regardless of how accommodating you are (and you get it honestly), others will have to respect your need for autonomy. Don’t bend so much that you break your plans in the process. Your 2014 Forecast Reading serves as a kick start to your year ahead! This reading can be done in person or over the phone. Visit www.randomnessofrudy.com for more information.

Leo: This week is a busy one where communication increases. You’ll be participating in different community events, or taking a couple of short trips (the activity continues into 2014, so pace yourself). Despite your energizer bunny spirit, there’s work to be done that you can’t afford to put off. The only way to manage all that is required of you is to find a mind/body balance; engage your higher self and hit the gym too. Everything must work in tandem to produce the proper results.

Virgo: Your creative juices have helped you to stand tall in your authenticity over the past few weeks. But you may notice that certain projects require that you go back to the drawing board. This is all fine and well, Virgo. In fact, it’ll be necessary as you attempt to market yourself and what you have to offer in the New Year (whether for business or pleasure). You have the goods my friend, and it would be silly of you not to claim them just because you feel a little rusty. Your time is coming.

Libra: Emphasis continues on the home and family front, with many Libras trying to ascertain how past conditioning plays a part in what feels like an inability to assert your personal needs and desires. Interestingly enough, significant others serve as your guide posts, but even finding the balance between them and you is proving tricky (especially for the more “we” oriented Libra). The goal is to do your own personal investigation, regardless of any outside influences, past or present. Your 2014 Forecast Reading serves as a kick start to your year ahead!

Scorpio: How you take care of yourself with regards to your daily affairs is under review. This week may see you facing your mortality, which will increase the pressure and incentive to change your lifestyle completely! It starts within; what does your past say about your present? What repressed fears and traumas prevent you from living a healthier way of life? If you can be honest with yourself, you’ll be amazed by the answers revealed. Talking with others brings additional clarity. Your 2014 Forecast Reading serves as a kick start to your year ahead! This reading can be done in person or over the phone.

Sagittarius: Financial security is something you’ve been working towards over the past few years, Sagittarius. But never has there been a more auspicious opportunity for you to bring added comfort and stability into your life than right now! I hope “stick to budget” and “save” are included on your list of New Year’s resolutions, because not only is it possible between now and the end of 2014, but you’ll have the discipline, dedication and focus to ensure that you commit to your plans. Good luck! Your 2014 Forecast Reading serves as a kick start to your year ahead! This reading can be done in person or over the phone. Visit www.randomnessofrudy.com for more information.

Capricorn: You’re still enjoying your birthday month, Capricorn, as you should! Not only are you a year wiser, but you have an amazing opportunity to reassess your plans for the future. All the important areas of your life are being highlighted right now – career, home/family, relationships and your personal self. You may feel overwhelmed in your attempts to juggle it all, but you’re more than capable of managing your affairs in a manner conducive to your happiness and well being. Your 2014 Forecast Reading serves as a kick start to your year ahead! This reading can be done in person or over the phone. Visit www.randomnessofrudy.com for more information.

Aquarius: In a lot of ways, Aquarius, you’re just as secretive as your fixed brother Scorpio. You’re not as private, but you have a very active imagination that not a lot of people are privy to (even those close). You are insightful, intuitive and innovative, and you tend to keep this side hidden. The ideas brewing behind the scenes will soon bubble to the surface, giving you the chance to bring them to fruition. Embrace the opportunity to share your wildest dreams; don’t let it pass you by. Your 2014 Forecast Reading serves as a kick start to your year ahead! This reading can be done in person or over the phone. Visit www.randomnessofrudy.com for more information.

Pisces: Certain groups and associations that serve a purpose in your life continue to undergo subtle changes and transitions. As a result, there’s a part of you that may be feeling a bit uncertain with regards to where you stand once all is said and done. Don’t forget that as you align with others, there’s the chance to be more authentic, standing firm in your own truth. “Standing firm” is the most important thing you can do for yourself, especially when it comes to personal boundaries.
